MACON, Ga. — Full-time employees for the Bibb County School District will see an extra $1,000 on their paychecks in January.
In a called meeting Thursday evening, board members voted to unanimously approve the one-time retention supplement, for full-time and part-time employees.
This includes contracted employees such as school nurses, as well as substitutes placed in long-term positions.
Individuals on service agreements and regular substitutes do not meet the criteria and will not receive a supplement.
This retention supplement is estimated to cost the District $3.9 million using federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds.
The retention supplements will be scheduled for payment no later than January 7, 2022.
